Today, within the U.S., we will see renewed protest against the genocide of Palestinians which, according to plans made over the summer by university administrators, will be met with highly increased repression. The NYPD has a high level alert to be on the lookout for protests. Please send photos and reports on what happens where you are.
There is no debate over whether Gaza has been destroyed. See satellite images from Al Jazeera, which was recently booted from Palestine by Israel. And now, large parts of Lebanon including the major city of Beirut, have been hit with huge bombs, causing the deaths of thousands of people.
The debate among those who care about justice centers on where the responsibility lies. With AIPAC lobbyists? With the U.S. arms offense industry? Solely with Zionist politicians in Israel? Or with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran? Clearly there’s involvement in this disaster from all of them.
But there is no competition for the bloody title of consigliere, funder and cheerleader of this genocidal war and support for the Zionist state. The U.S. has the main responsibility for Israel’s spread and aggression over the last 8 decades. The QUESTION is, how will people living in this country stop this? Here are some people taking action:
We are American Nurses, Physicians, and Surgeons who have Volunteered in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
99 health care providers who’ve been there, putting their own lives on the line, to care for wounded and sick Palestinians in Gaza. Please read their full letter, linked to above.
Every day that we continue supplying weapons and munitions to Israel is another day that women are shredded by our bombs and children are murdered with our bullets. President Biden and Vice President Harris, we urge you: end this madness now!
Iran’s Missile Attack on Israel, Israel’s Threatened Retaliation, and the Very Real Danger of Things Breaking Totally Out of Control includes this warning from Bob Avakian who is leading a movement for revolution:
In arming and backing the actions of Israel, the U.S. government is not only enabling the genocidal slaughter of Palestinians but is also increasing the possibility of a war with Iran, and perhaps an even wider and more destructive war. At the same time, by massively providing weapons, as well as intelligence and strategic direction to Ukraine, the U.S. government, headed by the Biden/Harris administration, is already indirectly at war with Russia, while also making preparations for military confrontation with China —all of which could lead to world war, between nuclear-armed imperialist powers, with the possibility of wiping out human civilization as we know it.

Beyond debate; these are international war criminals. Thanks to WarCriminalsWatch.org for keeping the focus on our responsibility to stop war crimes in our name.
